Randhir's pov

"Doesn't matter! Now just wait here and I'll bring something to eat okay?"
Ahana asked me cupping my face which made me smile and I nodded kissing her forehead. She flashed me one of her heart flipping smile and went away making me sigh. These past few days we were not at all talking or either fighting. I could easily say this was the most rough path and a difficult time for us by far but I realized one thing that I can't afford loosing Ahana for anything. Somewhere I do blame myself that being in my own ego, I didn't thought of solving the problem instead just stretched it far even when Ahana tried to mend everything.

I have forgiven Ahana that's for sure but forgetting the things she said to me seems a bit difficult just now. And I don't think it's easy to do but Ahana,her smile and her presence matters to me more so I'll give it to her. I know seeing her happy will ultimately bring smile on my face and she is clearly very guilty for what she said and asked for apology too so nothing more matters to me. With time, I'll forget everything and it'll be all good again.

"She looks damn hot in a saree, doesn't she?"
Came a voice which I knew way too well but his words made me clench my teeth and my fingers curled in a fist tightly to controlled myself.

Vishal Agnihotri

"What the hell did you just say?"
I asked turning to this pathetic creature in front of me with a hard voice while the bastard just chuckled stuffing his hands in his pockets and coming way more closer replied

"Just what you heard Malhotra! You just got too lucky to have her or else I would've made her mine already!"
Though my blood boiled with just hearing about my wife from his filthy mouth but I controlled myself and glaring right back at him replied in a low tone

"She was,she is and will always be mine Mr Vishal Agnihotri! My wife. Because even though you are obsessed or in your words,you love her but unfortunately she doesn't and would never had! And I'd suggest you not to use such words for my wife or else you'll see the worst of me!"
His eyes turned red in anger and he looked ready to pounce on anyone while I smirked folding my hands around my chest.

"She woul have! Agar tum beech mein nhi aate toh mein kab ka usse apna bana chuka hota! Aaj woh mujhse pyaar krti. Hamari shaadi ho gyi hoti. We could've been happy but you..."
He glared stabbing his index finger in my chest and continued

"...you chose to come in between us. And that's where I lost her!"
I gritted my teeth swatting his hand away and replied in an rather disinterested tone

"There was no 'us' between you both! She always has and always will consider you as her friend or more like a brother!"
He literally threw daggers at me as I said this but I didn't stop

"We both love each and we became one because it was in our fate. We were meant to be together but anyways! Why am I saying all this to a person as pathetic as you. You claimed to Ahana while you met her in my office that there won't be any problem from your side which will create difficulties in our marriage but look at you, doing the same exact thing. Atleast you could've respected the friendship of so many years!"
I said disgustingly as he seethed growling like a mad bull

"I never wanted to be her friend. I wanted to be more than that always! I wanted to be soo close to her like no one else!"
My blood boiled as I took hold of his coller in a deadly grip with my eyes spitting fire. How dare he say something like that about my Ahana?

"No a word more about my wife or else you won't like my next step!"
But this man just chuckled stupidly stating

"Why getting so hyper man, just relax! I just said what I feel. You know I don't think there's still much difference. I just want to have a taste of her. You can send Ahana to me for a night,I promise...."
That was it as I punched him hard on his shit like face making him stumble back with the blow. He glared maintaining his balance while wiping the blood which oozed out of his nose.

"How dare you fucking bastard!"
I screamed punching him again before he could even think straight and after it there was no going back as I kept beating him right across his face. Though he tried fighting back but the wile person couldn't even stand properly.

"Randhir kya kr raha hai? Chod usse!"
Suddenly I heard Sid's voice but nothing could stop me right now. How dare he even say a word about Ahana let alone such disgusting words? He's a true blot on the name of friendship.

"Randhir he'll die! What the hell, leave him!"
Sid tried prying me with the help of some other people too,to get me away from him but I held him in my grip landing punches after punches. I could feel my knuckles hurting at this point but I didn't wanted to stop and I won't. He spitted blood from the beating and just as I was about to land another one,I heard her voice. My solace.

"Randhir?"

My hand stopped automatically in middle while I looked like a mad man breathing heavily and seething with anger. Ahana kept away the plate of food aside while running to me and held my hand with her trembling ones.

"Ran... Randhir...ye kya kar rahe hai aap...aap Vishal ko...ohh god!"
She murmured with scared look and moist eyes and was about to go towards him but I took hold of her hand in my tight grip and started dragging her away from there before she could even process anything. I don't want her near that man ever. Not because I am jealous or angry but because he doesn't deserve this. Someone who doesn't respects my wife and has such revolting thoughts about her doesn't even deserve breathing the same air as her. Ahana is too naive and innocent to understand this which makes me think how am I going to explain and say everything to her about whatever happened just now? Would she believe me? Would she believe her husband of few months over her so called best friend of years?

"Randhir....kya kar rahe hai aap? Randhir suniye toh?"
Ahana asked wanting to remove my death grip from her wrist but I wouldn't let go. With large steps and dangerous eyes,I reached into our room and pulling Ahana rather harshly then I intended, closed the door with a bang. Ahana jumped at her place with hands on her ears and eyes closed.

"Ran... Randhir kuch boliye please? Waha...kya...apne Vishal ko...did...you hurt him...so much?"
I was puffing in anger just roaming in the room back and forth fisting my hand to controlled myself but as I heard Ahana's shuttering question,I groaned roaming my hands on my face to calm myself down.

"Randhir... apka hath!"
Ahana whispered softly making me look at her. She bit her lips trying not to cry,hesitantly coming close to me.

"Kyu...kiya ye sab?"
A tear dropped her eye constricting my heart with pain as she asked me, taking my bruised hand in her's caressing it. At her question,I could here his pathetic words again ringing in my ears for my love which just added fuel to the fire.

"Ahana,you won't go anywhere near that man till the time he is here which I'll make sure won't be much and I want you to cut your all ties with him henceforth!"
I stated in a low tone while she gasped looking at me unbelievably and I just kept hoping that she would listen to me. She would have faith in me this time and realise that I might have a reason for this but of course, it's Ahana we are talking about and she won't do anything easily.

"But why are you saying like this? Randhir what happened? Why did you beat him so much? He was so much hurt with blood all....."

"Won't you for once do as I am saying?"
I shouted cutting her off while she stopped all of a sudden looking at me with big eyes scared of me which removed my spell of anger. What am I doing? Why the hell I am taking out my anger on my jaan without any of her mistake and scaring her away from me? I have no right to treat her this way but hell my messed up mind.
I closed my eyes and took a long sigh pushing my hair back with my fingers.

"I... just....I need some time... please!"
Fumbling with my words,I came out the room leaving her alone all shocked to say anything. I breathe deeply and started making my way to some place away from everything. I just needed some peace so badly. I didn't knew were I was going but I stopped hearing my name being called

"Randhir!"
I halted as Sid with Adith came to me half running and hugged.

"Don't worry! Vishal's been taken care of! He's sent away from here!"
Sid informed looking at me with assuring eyes making me nod and Adith exclaimed

"Yes Randhir! Don't worry about him and not about our family too! Not a word about this will reach out to our them. I know you won't like having them worried!"
I smiled a small one thankfully at him without saying anything when he pointed looking at my injured hand

"Ohhh bro! Your hand looks in a real bad condition! Agar tera maar ke ye haal hai toh uss Vishal ka maar khake kya hi hua hoga!"

"He deserved every bit of it!"
Sid muttered with hatred and I sighed saying

"Guys, it's fine let's leave all this! I am going to take a walk. Will see you both!"
I turned to do the same thing when Sid asked

"Ahana thik hai?"
I stopped and just nodded replying

"I'll be back soon but take care of her!"

They nodded in positive and left patting my back while I started walking. I thought to move out of the hotel but then dropped the idea thinking I can easily find a quiet place in this big property for myself and surely I found a seating arrangement with the beautiful view of the pichola lake.

_________

It was literally evening, close to night and I have been here only either walking around or just zoning into space deep in thoughts, rubbing my palms together in this chilly weather. I was actually surprised that Ahana didn't came looking for me. Not even a message or a call nothing. I half expected her to bombard my phone with calls and texts or find me here somehow but I guess I scared her way too much today. Who won't be shocked anyways finding their husband beating someone black and blue and specially if that someone happens to be their best friend? On top of that,I didn't even tried to explain or say her anything instead shouted on her.

Still those words are ringing in my ears which that fucker dared to say for my wife. My blood boils even now thinking why did I left him? If only I could kill him,I would've did it without any doubt. Someone like him who think of women so down, deserves no sympathy from me.

I sighed not wanting to think about it anymore and sat down on the seat folding my arms when I heard a soft tinkling way to familiar along with the soothing clicking of bangles in the silent cold evening.

Ahana!

She is here finally! I smiled mentally thinking about it as I knew it was her. I could recognise the clinging of her chooda and the melody of her payal even in my sleep. My shoulders stilled feeling her coming close but I didn't faced her instead kept my eyes intact on the moving water of the lake shining with the lights illuminating from around.

My heartbeat picked up its pace as Ahana sat behind me but what made my stomach churn was her small,warm hand wrapping me with her in a shawl together,suddenly making me feel home. I gulped closing my eyes as Ahana held me ever so tightly keeping her head on my shoulder which relaxed instantly and I took hold of her hand feeling her warmth.

"How did you know?"
I asked breaking our peaceful silence softly and I knew she understood what I am talking about as she replied

"I asked Sid about you and later found on my own roaming till here!"
Her whisper reached my ears while I sighed taking her hand and kissing her palm while she snuggled in me more which bought a smile on my face.

"I hope apko kaafi alone time mil gya hai ab toh wapas chale? Sab puch rahe hai apke baare mein!"
Ahana asked slowly while I turned around being close and cupping her face which was warm and red,stated

"Mujhe bakiyo se farak nhi padta! Tum mere sath ho! Bas yahi meri liye bohot hai!"
She smiled which didn't really reached her eyes looking down and looking back at me said

"Mein toh hamesha hu apke sath lekin woh bhi family hai na? Come on, let's go! They'll be waiting for us warna be matlab pareshan honge sab!"
I frowned as she stood up to go but I held her hand halting her steps.

"Koi sawal nhi karogi?"
I asked standing up myself and being close to her. She looked down not meeting my gaze while her nose went red indicating she is about to cry.

"I know everything!"
Came her reply in a small voice and continued

"Sid aur Adith ne bataya!"
I sighed not knowing what to say next but instinctively my hands wrapped around her waist pulling her into me while she hugged me tightly hiding her face in my chest as much as possible.

"I couldn't believe Vishal said all that... for me! He was...my best friend Randhir... and he....I still can't fathom the fact that he really said all those things!"
I closed my eyes keeping her close to me and hugging her much tighter in an attempt to sooth her inner termoil.
My one hand held her waist while the other was on her head, caressing her hair.

"Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha...kya ho raha hai.. I was alone and...I wanted... needed you with me. But I understood you needed your own time alone. Away from me!"
This made me broke apart looking at her with confusion. My heart broke seeing her silent tears and I immediately wiped it away with the pad of my thumb. I sighed with the guilt reflecting in my eyes and whispered

"I never wanted to be away from you Ahana! I... just...urrgh!"
I groaned looking down thinking I messed up this time too and it was so difficult to explain. Ahana had a frown looking at me and moving closer,she cupped my face with her warm hands and made me look back at her.

"Apko kabse mushkil hone lagi mujhse kuch bhi kehne ko?"
She asked softly caressing my cheek making me take a sigh. Ahana joined our foreheads and whispered

"Boliye Randhir!"
I gulped holding her close, needing her warmth and started saying, slowly gathering myself

"I was so much in anger... with everything...I just felt like killing that bastard for even uttering your name from his filthy mouth let alone thinking so low of you. When I was with you...I wasn't in my right mind and...I feared if...in my anger I would do anything stupid... which will scare you away... that was the only reason why I left you alone. I didn't wanted to see fear in your eyes because of me ever!"

"I don't know about anyone else and you but my heart knows that you would never raise your hand on me ever!" Came Ahana's reply as she intertwined our hands opening my palm from the fist. I closed my eyes with jaw clenched because even the thought of doing what she said felt physical hurting to me.

"I won't ever do that,I swear!"
I whispered looking at her with vulnerable eyes and she smiled softly. Standing on her toes,she kissed my forehead fluttering my heart in different ways and looking back at me said

"Iss baat ko mein apse behtar jaanti hu! You don't have to justify yourself baby!"

The next second she gasped as my lips landed on her's in a demanding kiss but it was so much needed for me. My hand tightened around her waist pulling her more into me while she circled her hands around my neck moaning as I gave a bite sucking her lower lip.

"I love you soo soo much!"
I whispered breaking apart while I was rewarded with her blushing face and shy smile. She looked at me and biting her lip, raised her hand, wiping my lips probably to wipe away her lipstick stain.

"But today I want a promise from you!"
Ahana stated playing with the button of my shirt and pushing a strand of her hair behind her ear,I asked

"And that would be?"

"We will never walk away from a conversation or either argument until we reach a conclusion or sort it out and this applies to the both of us. If we fight in future,we sort it right away no matter what without letting our ego or misunderstanding come in between okay?"
She completed and looked at me while I smiled giving her a quick peck replying

"Noted my lord!"
She blushed later giggling and I sighed at the sight of her beautiful face.

"You know this past few days which were almost hell for me,made me realise that there's nothing more important to me than you and I never want to loose you for anything! I don't care if we have problems in future,I would still kiss you in anger rather than being away from you!"

I poured my heart out and was rewarded with my jaan's smile and moist eyes as she practically jumped on me making me chuckle and I twirled her around hearing her giggle like a child. This is what matters. There will be ups and downs and rough roads but never do I ever intend to leave her hand. She is my everything. My jaan. Literally. It's never going to be easy but we'll win against every odd for our love is more greater than anything else.
